WILLIAM BRITTO SAYS HE ROB-

Outside-riled and bent to Jail.

William Britto, of Winnipank, con-
fessed,yesterday afternoon, to robbing
Joseph C. We general store at that
place. He said Robert Rose. a com-
panion, wanted him to go to Texas with
him and this was the method by which
they were to raise the money to pay
their way. Both were devoted to dime
novel reMing and hadconceived some
wild ideas of cowboy and border life.
Roesand Britta concocted the robbery
several days before the crime was
committed, and it was carried out as
planned. Britto’s statement was that he
made an excuse to get in the back part
of the store, and then sneaked up into
the loft, where he remained secreted
until the place wee locked for the night.
Hethsnsecursdthe cash box from its
hiding place and made his escape by the
back way. He was met by Ross, who re~
lieved him of the plunder. That night
they started for New York. Britta said
he neared about $10 of the money. In
New York they started to purchase an
outfit for Texas, when Ross quietly gave
him the slip. Being alone in the city, he
soon" became homesick and returned to
Winnipsuk. He was afraid that Mr.
Bundle suspected him, and so decided to
get out of town. He left for New
Canaan on Monday. and remained there
until he was arrested.

Rom, as has been already printed in
Tar. SENTINEL, skipped town Saturday,
taking with him 029.50 belonging to his
brother. Aleck Rms. He is still missing.
and yesterday afternoon two warrants
for his arrest were issued, one for theft
and the other for burglary, as he is
wanted as an awomplios in breaking
into Mr. Randle's store last Thursday
night and stealing the cash box, which
contained about :30. There is no clue to
Rass’ whereabouts, and it is doubtful if he
he ever returns to Winnipauk. He is also
suspected of having broken into Maurice
McGrath’s saloon some little time ago.
Ross was a cigarmaker .by trade and
worked atthe Old Well Cigar company's
fumry in this city. He was discharged
the day after Labor Day by the foreman
for being intoxicated. It is understood
that his brother will make an effort to
capture him, by having his photograph
with his discriptions sent to every chief
of police in the United States.

The robbery of Mr. Randle's store was
reported to Captain of Police Dana, of
Norwalk, and he was investigating the
case, when Constable John 8. Lockwood
heard of it and informed Mr. Raudle that
he could catch the thief inside of two
hours. He secured a warrant from Al-
torney Gray for the arrest of young Brit—
to, who had hung around the store con-
siderably, but since the day before the
burglary had not been seen. Mr. Lack—
wood was unsuccessful in locating llritw,
but Mr. Roadie gave him a tip. He had
discovered that Britto was working for a
farmer in New Cannon, and sent.
the constable up there after
him. The officer brought the lad to
Norwsik yesterday,and placed him in the
lockup. The constable could get nothing
out of the prisoner. He refused to allow
the boy’s father to see him. As there
was no evidence against him, it was fear-
ed it would be necessary to discharge
him. Attorney Gray finally took the
prisoner in band, and crosquueationed
him. The attorney told him the gravity
of the crime, and theta confession would
probably keep him out of jail. lie broke

been put up to the job by Robert Ross.

INDIVIDUAL WEALTH.

“The legro in the Commercial World,"
by Oswald B. Bmith-Oontinnsd.

The late Dr. P, A. White, a prominent
druggist of New York, left an estate
valued at $0,000,000; he used to do an an-
nual business of $200,000. In Washing-
ton, D. (3., thirty or forty colored resi-
dents own a million dollars. In Balti-
more there are nineteen who are estimat-
edtobs worth a million also. In the
city of Brotherly Love, John McKee is
said to own 400 houses and other pro-
perty, worth in allahalf million. Isaiah
C. Wears, of the same city. has a very
comfortable bank account, and has, for
the past twenty years, bought a house
each year. Richard Grunt and Mrs.
John Jones, of Chicago, are each worth
$70,000. These are all individual eflort,
and furnish abundant evidence to certify
the progress of the negro since eman-
cipation. But read more, Dr. C. D.
Otken, and make notation. In South
Carolina negroes own about $0,000,000 in
town and city property, and about $4,-
000,000 more in farms and live stock. In
the savings bank at Charleston, 8. 0..
there are to thecredit of colored deposi-
tors about 6125,000. Two colored banks
in Washington, D. C., have been able to
stand through the late financial panic.

These achievements in themselves may
not be marvelous, but they are the facts
which are the foundation stones for the
beautiful superstructure of prosperity
which, in another quarter of a century,
the negro will surely rear. From anoth-

er source it is called to mind
that Philip King, of Montgomery,
Ala, planned and constructed a

bridge across the Chattahooche river at
Columbus, 0a., and another bridge across
the same river at Eufaula. Messrs.
Fawlkes & Robinson, of Birmingham,
are the owners of a coal mine in that
section. Those who discuss the tariff,
and especially the tariff on tin, may not
beawaro that the largest tin manufac-
tory in Alabama, is owned by a colored
man and his sons (F. Gomex), whose
real property, it is estimated, is worth
$100,000. In Nashville, Tenn., colored
men own and operate a broom fac-
tory. Felix Andre, of Mobile, Ala., is a
contractor and builder; he owns his own
establishment and employs colored
mechanics only. Elijah McCoy, of Ile-
troit, Mich, Who has twenty-eight pat-
ents for useful contrivances. is a colored
man. His patent lubricator for steam
engines has won its way into general use
both in this country and in Europe.
Granville F. Wood, of Columbus, Ohio,
inventor of the Synchronous multiplex
railway telegraph, by which a train dis-
patcher can note the position of any train
on the road at a glance, is also a colored
man, and his patent. to a very valuable
one.

These several individuals and commu-
cities which have been mentioned are, to
some extent, exceptional, but, Brother
Otlren, it must not be inferred that they
cover the whole of what the colored peo-
ple of this country have achieved since
their emancipation. Charles M. lisrrlan
is ayoung colored Wall street lawyer,
and is counsel for the Water Commission.
ers of the First district, New York city.

THE GREEN 00008 nut

JIMMY l‘NALLY NAIDTO BE LIV-
ING 1N SOUTM NORWALK.

Driving Behind “Black Prince" and 'l'ak-
ing Life Easy with a Ian Named Ryan,
who owns a Farm on a Spur of the
Turnpike.

According to the New York Recorder,
Jimmy McNaIIy, the dethroned green
goods king, is living in case and comfort
and free from all danger of being mo-
lested, in Connecticut. Upon his return
from Europe about six weeks ago it is
said that he came direct to South Nor-
wallr, where he. has since been living
with a man named Ryan, who recently
purchased a farm on a spur of the main
turnpike running from South Norwalk to
New York. McNaIly has not hidden
himself by any means, and he takesa
drive daily around the country. He does
not go toward Bridgeport, where hols
well known. In this town no one knows
him.

It required as much diplomacy to find
McNally yesterday, says the Recorder,
as would have been necessary to reach
the private apartment of the czar of
Russia. Men had to be seen in Bridge-
port, messagss had to he sent to Nor-
walk, until finally word came that Mc-
Nally would sees reporter if he came
alone to South Norwalk, and would
meet him in front of the Imperial Cafe.
The reporter followed the instructions,
and after waiting a few momeiits at
the appointed place, and being carefully
scrutinized by a stranger who went
away, McNally came up the road in a
buggy, behind “Black Prince," the styl-
ish horse he used to drive on the boule-
void.

McNally was stylishly dressed, but
without the big diamond he used to wear
on his shirt front. The reporter made
known his commission, and McNally, af-
ter making a few pertinent inquires said:

“Jump in and I'll give you a spin
around the country. There are no ring-
ing bags in this rig, and you need not be
afraid of your bank roll.”

The reporter gor. into the carriage. and
“Black Prince" went off at a slapping
pace.

OVER THE COMPU ES'I‘A’I E.

 

 

A New Yorker Tries to itvlct the Present
Occupant of the Place.

The Compo estate, as it is called, lies
on the shore st Saugatuck, and extends
as far back as the railroad. In April,
1802, John I’ettit. who then owned the
property, leased it toElla S. Burnham
for thirteen months. At the time she
secured the lease Miss Burn ham also took
a mortgage upon the place for $10,000,
advancing that sum. Last May the lease
expired, and during the time between
then and its granting several changes had
taken place. I’cttit bad transferred the
estate to William G. Booth, a New Jer-
sey man, who had in turn deeded it to
John it. Cnsselberry. of New York.

After notifying Miss Burnhnm to
leave, and not seeing any evidence of
compliance, he decided to compel her to
move. A short time ago a writ of sum.
mary process was issued against her. It
was made returnable before Justice
George B. Smith, of Westport, yesterday.
Stevenson, Bartlett & Douglass were
there for Casselberry, and Stoddard,
Bishop dc Shelton for the defendant.

The plaintiffs immediately set out to
prove their title. They offered as evi-
dence certified copies of the deeds record-
ed with the town clerk of Westport. Jus~
tlce Smith refused to accept them. The
plaintiff was practically non-suited, but
at once took an sweal to the Common
Pleas court on a writ of error.

To make the situation still more com-
plicated, Miss Burnham has commenced
a suit in the Huperfor Court for forc-
closure of the mortgage. Should this be
tried before the appeal, and she succeed
in securing the decree, it would termin-
ate the whole dispute.

Oltlssns' League Meeting.

The Cltlnons’ league held an enthusias-
tic meeting at the Norwalk Methodist
church, last night. lisvsnty new names
were added to the roll of members by
vote and two amendments were made to
the constitution. Rev. A. ll. Wyatt,
and Deacon Matthew Starr were added
to the executive committee. An inter-
esting discussion followed upon the work
of the League and its crusade against the
saloon. The question was ably remark-
ed upon by Rev. G. H. Beard. lion. John

Guns-lam first Ball of the lessen a
Grand Success.

If the succeeding balls to be given this
season by the Gsrmania Swagerbund
prove as enjoyable as the inaugural one
held last night in Germania Hall. the new
clety will have reason to feel elated over
their efforts. The affair was a decided
success. both socially and financially.
The attendance was just large enough to
comfortably fill the hall. Without crowd-
ing it, and the condition of the floor
could not have been improved upon.
Janitor Mueller hsd polished and waxed
the dancing surface until it. fairly glis-
tened. Heine‘s orchestra provided ex-
cellent music for the twenty-four num-
bers on the programme, which began
with a waltz. One of the special features
was the two ladies’ Waltzes, in which the
fair sex, have an opportunity to invite
the gentlemen to dance, and it is pre-
sumed that after going around the hall
once, they will discard the partner they

 

music stops, having had at least half a
dozen partners. The dance was duly ap-
preciated and will probably be popular
this winter with other societies. An
abundance of refreshments was dis-
pensed in the ante room during the even-

log.

The committee of arrangements, to
whom great credit should be given for
the success of the event, consisted of
Gustav Freidrich, George Singer, Anton
Stenger, Julius Dsysenroth, Fritz Zarges,
John Hunkemeir, Henry Hunkemeir and
August Wichmann. The floor commit-
tee was made up of the following gentle-
men, who performed their duties most
efficiently: Julius Deysenroth, George
Singer and Anton Stenger. Charles
Yost called off the figures.

The society is making arrangements
for a grand concert the first part of
November. The soloists will be from out
of town, and the chorus is rehearsing
several new selections under the direction
of Professor Theile.

nothing but poor amateur work. Both,

Opera House, Friday, September 14.

Stelson’s big spectacular “Uncle Tom’s
Cabin,” will be presented at Music Hall,
Friday night. Referring to the appear-
ance of the play in Syracuse, the Herald
says: “The engagement of Stetson's
Uncle Tom’s Cabin company at the local
theatre yesterday fully demonstrated the
fact that the old time play is still pop-
ular,:especially with the children. The
matinee was the largest ever held at the
Opera House, over 1,300 ladies and chiL
dren attending. Last evening the house
was packed and the crowd numbered
close to 1,700 people. Standing room
was not available after ti o'clock and
many were turned away. The company
presented the play in an acceptable man-
ner."

 

The extremely humorous complica-

tionsiu the comedy, “The New Boy,”
which has scored the most sensational
success of any play of its kind ever pro-
duced upon the English stage, are evolv-
ed from the idea of a grown-up man
forced by circumstances to take his place
among a tribe of brutal schoolboys. The
author transforms his man into boy’s
